The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 1540: Chapter 1540: Flattering

Although Dong Ha’er is not a Demon King, his status within the Demon Clan is still extremely high.

This time, slaying Dong Ha’er is a matter worthy of great celebration for all humans. Naturally, for the Demon Clan, it is a very heavy loss.

Ruchen Venerable being able to kill Dong Ha’er indeed has Jing Yan’s contribution. If it weren’t for Jing Yan restraining Dong Ha’er’s unique talents, Ruchen Venerable wouldn’t have been able to keep Dong Ha’er.

Therefore, this is undoubtedly a great merit. If the Heavenly Venerates among humans who are still alive knew about this, they would definitely be very happy, and the possibility of them stepping forward to meet Jing Yan and bestow him with precious treasures is also very high.

Upon hearing Ruchen Venerable’s words, Zhi Chang Divine Emperor and others also looked at Jing Yan with eyes full of excitement.

Especially those God Lords at Divine Sovereign and Emperor Level, their gazes towards Jing Yan were full of admiration. Invisibly, Jing Yan’s status in their hearts had reached an extremely high level.

This is prestige, not just the fear brought by one’s powerful personal strength.

”Young friend Jing Yan, I reckon you are less than ten thousand years old?” Ruchen Venerable looked at Jing Yan and asked gently.

”Indeed, I have not yet been alive for ten thousand years,” Jing Yan nodded.

”Truly astonishing. If our Human Clan had a few more geniuses like you, how could we not flourish!” Ruchen Venerable praised sincerely.

”With Fellow Daoist Jing Yan’s talent, stepping into the Heavenly Venerate Realm in the future will not be difficult. With Fellow Daoist Jing Yan’s strength, once he becomes Supreme Heavenly Venerate, the Demon Kings of the Sky Demon Clan would probably have to bow before him!” Menglu Divine Emperor boasted for Jing Yan.

Previously, Menglu Divine Emperor had some friction with Jing Yan, but now he holds Jing Yan in high esteem. It must be said, this Menglu Divine Emperor has quite a thick skin. For most people, it would be embarrassing to completely change attitude so quickly and flatter Jing Yan so openly without blushing.

After Menglu Divine Emperor finished speaking, others also echoed their agreement.

Even Ruchen Venerable spoke up: ”You are right. Young friend Jing Yan’s combat power should be very close to the Heavenly Venerate Level. The missing element is the power of world control. Young friend Jing Yan, you probably haven’t opened up your world yet. When you have some free time, you might as well try to open one. In the process of world evolution, you will have many insights and initially grasp some World Power. Once you grasp World Power, your strength can truly reach the Heavenly Venerate level.”

Upon hearing even Ruchen Venerable say this, everyone couldn’t help but be moved again. Among the Divine Emperors present, almost all had opened up worlds and mastered some World Power. Yet their strength still fell far short of Jing Yan by a great distance.

”Of course, I’m not saying that once you open up a world, you can immediately step into the Heavenly Venerate Realm. Rather, your combat power could initially rival that of a Heavenly Venerate. Given your current combat power, if you truly step into the Heavenly Venerate Realm, there might be no one among the remaining Heavenly Venerates in our Human Clan who could claim to surpass you,” Ruchen Venerable added.

”Senior Ruchen overpraises me. Compared to you seniors, I still fall far short,” Jing Yan humbly responded.

Ruchen Venerable smiled softly and said no more.

”By the way, senior, could you give me a portion of Dong Ha’er’s Demon General’s Heart?” Jing Yan shifted the topic and asked.

On the bodies of the Heavenly Demons of the Sky Demon Clan, there is a Heavenly Demon Heart. The Heavenly Demon Heart is an extremely precious material for humans. A single Demon General’s Heart is practically priceless. Even Supreme Heavenly Venerates wouldn’t completely disregard a Demon General’s Heart. Heavenly Venerates could also make use of one.

However, the reason Jing Yan wanted the Demon General’s Heart was not for himself, but for Xiao Feng. When Dong Ha’er was slain, Xiao Feng conveyed to Jing Yan that she very much wanted Dong Ha’er’s Demon General’s Heart.

Upon hearing Jing Yan’s request, Ruchen Venerable smiled slightly, spread her jade-like hand, and a purple light circled and fell on the chest of Dong Ha’er’s immense body. Then, everyone saw a huge black heart slowly float out.

”Young friend Jing Yan, this Demon General’s Heart is the most precious thing on Dong Ha’er,” Ruchen Venerable said softly. ”However, without you, I wouldn’t have been able to kill Dong Ha’er. This Demon General’s Heart naturally already belongs half to you. Since you want it, just take it all.”

”This...thank you, Senior Ruchen!” Jing Yan accepted the Demon General’s Heart and thanked Ruchen Venerable.

Soon after, Jing Yan handed the Demon General’s Heart to Xiao Feng nearby. Xiao Feng accepted the Demon General’s Heart with glowing eyes.

As Jing Yan handed the Demon General’s Heart to Xiao Feng, Ruchen Venerable’s gaze also fell on Xiao Feng. In her eyes, there was a hint of surprise.

However, she did not question Jing Yan about it on the spot.

After receiving the Demon General’s Heart, Xiao Feng quickly left the vicinity of the space.

”Young friend Jing Yan, I wish to speak with you privately,” Ruchen Venerable said to Jing Yan.

”Alright!” Jing Yan was slightly taken aback but then nodded in agreement.

Ruchen Venerable slightly extended her arm, and a gentle wave of energy enveloped Jing Yan. The figures of the two disappeared from the space.

Moments later, Jing Yan realized he was no longer near Nine Realms Star but saw Ruchen Venerable standing before him.

”The abilities of a Heavenly Venerate are indeed unfathomable. Even now, I am still far from reaching the level of a Heavenly Venerate. Heavenly Venerates, truly are beings capable of peering into the Heavenly Dao,” Jing Yan marveled in his heart.

”Jing Yan, that female just now, is she from the Beast Clan?” Ruchen Venerable directly inquired about Xiao Feng’s background.

Figures like Zhi Chang Divine Emperor could also sense that Xiao Feng’s aura was different from humans. However, even if they guessed that Xiao Feng was from the Beast Clan, they wouldn’t care much. Within the Human Territory, there are many Divine Beasts. Among them, quite a few can transform into human form.

But Ruchen Venerable asked Jing Yan this question with due seriousness. Clearly, she noticed something extraordinary about Xiao Feng.

Indeed, Ruchen Venerable sensed an extremely obscure pressure from Xiao Feng. This kind of pressure could definitely not come from those so-called Divine Beasts that could give Ruchen, a Heavenly Venerate, such a feeling.

”Yes!” Jing Yan admitted directly.

”Hmm, Jing Yan, I must caution you to be a bit careful. That female of the Beast Clan is extraordinary. I can perceive that her power may not be very strong at present. However, she is absolutely not an ordinary member of the Beast Clan,” Ruchen Venerable cautiously continued, ”I have seen some kings of the Beast Clan, but even those Beast Clan kings never gave me such a quiver of the Divine Soul.”

”Xiao Feng is indeed not an ordinary Beast Clan member...” Jing Yan nodded with a wry smile.
